libjit(3) Just-In-Time Compiler Library libjit(3)
NAME
libjit - Just-In-Time Compiler Library
SYNOPSIS
#include <jit/jit.h>
Link with -ljit
DESCRIPTION
The libjit library has an extensive set of routines that takes care of
the bulk of the Just-In-Time compilation process, without tying the
programmer down with language or bytecode specifics.
Unlike other systems such as the JVM, .NET, Parrot, and LLVM, libjit is
not a virtual machine in its own right. It is the foundation upon
which a number of different virtual machines, dynamic scripting
languages, etc, can be built.
